The full bench of the Federal Court in Brisbane today dismissed the foundation's arguments that the Federal Environment Minister had failed in his duty to consider the mine's impact on the Great Barrier Reef.

ACF spokesman Paul Sinclair said they would continue their fight to stop the mine.

"Today's decision is just another step in the most significant environmental campaign of our generation," he said.

"[It] shows that our national environmental laws are broken and are not protecting the places we love, like the Great Barrier Reef.

"We depend on the passion, commitment and determination of the Australian people to stop the Adani mine."

Moscow's words and actions — including the alleged poisoning of a former spy — are not the results of random aggression but rather fall into distinct patterns that can help us anticipate Russia's next moves under Vladimir Putin.
